THANKS now is automatically maintained for you. It uses git author
data to append people who submitted patches in the past.
For non-commit THANKS, you can still manually edit this file.
This commit removes from the THANKS file the people that appear
as git commit authors since we started committing them after
commit 6c976bd. These removed entries get automatically re-
added by `make`.

from ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in the top-level Makefile.am - which were not
defined before.
Additionally, this removes the need for the explicit m4_include of
m4/ac_check_icu.m4 at the very top of configure.ac.
Patch by Hans Ulrich Niedermann.
Closes COUCHDB-165 and COUCHDB-414.
